Austrogomphus guerini, also known as Austrogomphus (Austrogomphus) guerini, is a species of dragonfly of the family Gomphidae, commonly known as the yellow-striped hunter. It inhabits streams, rivers and lakes in eastern New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, Australia.
Austrogomphus guerini is a tiny to medium-sized, black and yellow dragonfly. The genus name Austrogomphus combines the prefix austro- (from Latin auster, meaning “south wind”, hence “southern”) with Gomphus, a genus name derived from Greek γόμφος (gomphos, “peg” or “nail”), alluding to the clubbed shape of the abdomen in males.
The species name guerini is likely an eponym honouring Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville (1799-1874), who provided Rambur with dragonfly specimens collected by J.S.C. Dumont d’Urville during the voyage of the Coquille. List of Odonata species of Australia Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Striped Hunter sighting in Grampians National Park on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 48th most-seen of the 148 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Striped Hunter in Grampians National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March to November, the lowest months. That is one of Grampians National Park's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 85 mm in October.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-Striped Hunter sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Yellow-Striped Hunter sightings, Grampians National Park ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kosciuszko National Park (Australia, about 20%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-Striped Hunter is recorded against all the insects logged in Grampians National Park (23 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
